King & Bear, named for its co-designers, World Golf Hall of Fame members Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, is the first-and-only course design collaboration between two of golf’s most respected and well-known ambassadors. Palmer and Nicklaus set out to create the 7,279-yard course as an eminently playable and picturesque course with memorable par-5′s amid lakes, loblolly pines and 200-year-old live oaks. The King & Bear is also rated among Golf for Women’s Top 50 Courses for Women.
World Golf Village’s King & Bear course features design collaborations by four World Golf Hall of Fame members and consistently receives a four-and-a-half stars rating (out of five) by Golf Digest. The King & Bear has hosted Professional tournaments including the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, a Champions Tour event, and Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf, as well as other nationally-televised events.
